YR-SOC, 2005
The First European Young Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented Computing
******************************************************************

21-22 April 2005,
De Montfort University
Leicester, UK.
INTRODUCTION
The 2005 European Young Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented
Computing (SOC) is a first attempt to bring together PhD students, young
researchers working in the industry and those who completed their
doctoral studies within the past few years. Attendance at the workshop
is open to all. The aim of the workshop is to build a reputable and
respectable forum for young researchers with inputs from industry
practitioners. The core objectives are to exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of the art and practice of SOC, as well as to
identify the emerging research topics and define the future trends in
this domain. It is also planned to have 4 invited speakers to share
their expert opinions on various aspects of SOC
YR-SOC presentations will be selected according to originality,
significance, and general interest. Selections will be on the basis of
submitted 2-page abstracts. A booklet with the abstracts of the accepted
presentations will be available at the workshop. After the workshop, the
author(s) of each presentation will be invited to submit a full 10-15
page paper on the same topic. They will also be asked to write
(anonymous) reviews of papers submitted by other authors on related
topics; further reviewing, and the final selection of papers, will be
carried out by the organisers. The volume of selected papers from the
workshop will be published as a technical report (a suitable publisher
will be found) by the end of August' 2005. Authors are also encouraged
to disseminate the results reported at YR-SOC by subsequent publication
elsewhere. The workshop is partly funded by EPSRC.
Submissions to the Poster and Demo Sessions are also invited
